Hi all,

Does anyone know of a command-line based Feed Scraper I could hack to download podcasts from the RSS feeds?  I'm working on a script that downloads the latest episodes, works out when I walk through the door which files are currently on my phone and then does a file sync via bluetooth overnight so that I have the latest files on my phone the next day.

I've got to the point where I need to scrape the RSS for MP3s (sony-ericsson phone I'm afraid, MP3 or nothing...) but I can't find any comand-line based tools to scrape the content.

I've considered hacking something together using awk, grep and wget but that feels kinda clumsy.

Answers on a postcard to the usual address...

Cheers,

Matt.
